Our take
Lean aims to put the consumer at the centre of the fintech ecosystem. It allows the user to securely share their data with their favourite fintech apps, meaning that they gain access to better quality financial services and products. The data Lean shares is fully customisable, and can be monitored, amended, or revoked at any time with the Customer Consent Portal, meaning the user is always in control. By collating data from multiple sources, Lean makes it easier for customers to have a comprehensive view of their financial lives.
Lean's tools encourage innovation for developers, allowing them to transform ideas into revolutionary fintech products. Its data API gives real-time access to information behind its users' bank accounts, whilst its payments API is designed to facilitate bank-to-bank transfers to integrate payments into the customer experience. This access to financial data - always with the user's permission - allows developers to build all new financial experiences.
Lean uses bank-level security at all levels of its infrastructure and software. Its core technologies ensure that customers can seamlessly and securely share their financial data without ever compromising on their privacy or security. Impressive series B funding awarded in 2025 will be used to accelerate the growth of its products, grow its headcount and strengthen partnerships.
